Ch. 6: Financial Abstractions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June writes: "We conducted our financial transactions with cheques. There was little need for cash. I always ensured that Rusty had some money in his wallet but, not much. He'd joke about this to people we met, telling them with a chuckle that his wife never gave him any money. Shortly after the onset of Alzheimer's, Rusty turned the cheque book over to me. It was a gradual thing that I didn't even think much of at the time... but I was grateful the financial reins were transferred in this manner."
